The midfielder is on the market and the club has already attracted interest from Juventus, Barcelona and the Rojiblanca entity due to difficulties in reaching an extension deal
It is a fact that Carlos Soler moves further away from Valencia every day. The youth squad is one of the highest market value players in the squad and given the economic difficulties the entity is going through, he is one of the favorites to transfer to reduce the 70 million Valencia needs. Given the difficulties the club face in reaching an extension deal with the midfielder, the chances of Soler’s eventual sale are increasing, especially with the interest major clubs are showing in the Spanish international.
Despite the fact that Carlos Soler’s market value is 50 million according to the specialist portal Transfermarkt, the fact that he is a player entering the last year of his contract means that his price is falling as the other clubs know that they don’t have too much pay to be able to wait a few months and take it for free. Anil Murthy in the now famously leaked talks publicly threatened Soler to “kill him in the press” if he left for free after January 1, while he was free to negotiate with another team.
Valencia are looking to make a ‘renewal’, which would see Soler renew his contract with the club to allow for a sale that will leave more revenue in Mestalla’s coffers, but the player’s salary claims do not fit within budgets set by Meriton managed.
Currently, Atletico de Madrid is the team that sounds the loudest and is in the best position to win it, which is pretty close to the claims Valencia has. It is an explicit request from Simeone, as ‘Las Provincias’ has already advanced, who wants to strengthen the midfield with a player who has arrived and who fits into the ‘Cholo’ system. Although the rojiblancos will have to make room for him first, with departures like those of Thomas Lemar or Saúl Ñíguez, who would clear the center of the Atlético field for the arrival of Soler, who would reunite there with Kondogbia and Wass, with who he won the Copa del Rey in 2019.
Several other teams were interested in Soler, as is the case with the Italian teams Juventus and Napoli, although the player’s preference seems to be to stay in Spain, knowing that he has a good market here and which is good for him to to play in our league ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to be held in November. Therefore, a better offer is also expected from Barcelona, which after Anil Murthy’s offer suggested a barter involving players like Martin Braithwaite, Sergiño Dest or Riqui Puig, an offer that Valencia turned down. A possible sale of Frenkie de Jong would open the culé route for Soler, where he would meet Ferran Torres again.
